«The Ravello Festival is at risk»

This year, two months after its scheduled inauguration, the Ravello Festival cannot yet be based on a defined budget due to the government’s block on European funds which, in recent editions, have flowed into the Ravello Foundation through the Poc of Campania regionwho financed the event almost exclusively.

The Steering and Administrative Councils met together today to examine the issue and decide on the celebration of the 72nd Ravello Festival.

At present, the Foundation bodies they were only able to acknowledge that the lack of state funding makes it impossible to stage the same number of shows as in previous years. While waiting for some certainty, the suspension of the tender currently underway for the construction of the stage in the gardens of Villa Rufolo has also been feared.
